Encryption using your joystick

JoystickCrypt

A new idea on how to co-operate cryptography with external devices in order to make a different approach on how to keep our personal files or applications more secure.

JoystickCrypt instead of using keywords in order to encrypt or decrypt data is using Joystick directions. Although this idea might be not so usuaful for some , I think that it can be very useful for people who are better on memorizing movements instead of memorising a sequence of letters. Of course users who can memorize more easily movements than keystrokes are gamers. But this is not the only area that this app can be applied. (A good way to make encryption available to people with vision problems) . Internat cafe and playrooms can use this tool to have better and faster authentication into games or browsers.

Soon in the new version with screen saver cooperation will be available so you can deactivate the saver with joystick movements.

The algorithm used in this tool is RC4 used in many high secure applications or protocols such as SSL.

An additional suggestion on how to make JoystickCrypt better can be freely emailed to cipher
